For sale i have a SPL Transient Designer, 2 channel dynamics processor.
It is in good working order and good cosmetic condition, there a some scratches along the top where its been slid in and out of the rack but they’re minor and as you can see in photos the front looks great.
My shipping costs do not include insurance. If you would like to arrange your own courier with insurance then please contact me after purchase and i will send a invoice without shipping.
“In the late ’90s, SPL revolutionized the recording and live sound industries with their introduction of the Transient Designer. Birthing a sea change in dynamics processing, the analog Transient Designer and its plugin counterpart both use SPL’s Differential Envelope Technology to produce level-independent dynamics processing. Unlike compressors, Transient Designer can transparently shape the attack and sustain characteristics of sounds no matter their leveljet engine-loud or whisper-quiet, constant or fluctuatingand without the need to fiddle with threshold, attack and release controls.
In fact, Transient Designer uses only two primary controlsAttack and Sustainto process dynamics. In mere seconds, you can increase or decrease the attack portion of a sound”
The first transient designer was designed by Ruben Tilgner using his differential envelope technology and the result was a two channel hardware processor released by Sound Performance Labs (SPL) of Germany. The processor used a combination of VCAs (voltage controlled amplifiers) and envelope followers to clamp down on specific areas of a sounds transient events.
The hardware only has a few knobs, which control attack and sustain. Dont be deceived by the simplicity, as this processor can solve all sorts of problems and create just as many interesting effects. In fact, when SPL brought out this original transient designer, engineers were so taken with the ability of the unit to completely transform their drum tracks that many of them saw the unit as an absolute studio essential.
How do these things work for us in the mix? Well, essentially a transient designer affects the attack and sustain phase of a sound and are capable or drastically enhancing or attenuating each of these with pin point accuracy. For instance, using a transient designer were able to increase the attack of a snare sound or clav pattern, or even reduce the sustain of a live percussion loop to reduce the room sound in the recording.
Of course these things can be achieved with some success using other dynamics processors such as gates and compressors, but youll find that once you start using transient processing, the speed with which you can achieve these effects really leave the more traditional methods behind.
Transient designers also tend to be very versatile and are not just limited to drums as is often the misconception. They are just as happy strapped across a vocal or guitar track and can even work wonders as part of a mastering chain.
